Nope. Only checking in on it through here now. Not putting myself through that torture.

I'm not even watching the 500, unless it winds up being stretched out nearly to 7. Believe me I wanted to, but frankly, the new format is hard to watch and the 5 minute rule is best described as being excruciatingly annoying to the point where ARCA is putting on a better plate racing show. past that, I only care remotely about Eldora. The rest of it's gonna suck

XFINITY ready to rock Daytona in mere moments. As always, good luck to all drivers and teams competing today. We'll get our first look at how the new format affects the XFINITY Series after having seen how the new format affected Trucks last night.

No... this is not photoshopped

Xfinity cars on track getting ready for green, time to make an opinion on the segments.

#2 car penalized one set of tires.

He really is the 2nd least likable human being in motorsports...behind Keselowski.

 

[JohnBM01]

It's GO time! We are GO with the XFINITY Series from Daytona!

I love how riled up this forum gets over the Penske boys!

 

[Dylan]

I love the green Camaro pace car.

To be fair I like Penske the team, just not the tools that have been put in the seats since Newman left.

 

[Northstar]

A car got into the wall and there wasn't a caution. This is a NASCAR race right?

Same here, at least Ryan Blaney is a sort-of Penske driver.

 

[Dylan]

Big wreck!

 

[BKGlover]

Another caution. 23 and 00 out.

 

[Dylan]

Red flag with 5 to go in stage one. I think there gonna try and finish the first segment with a green, white, checkered.

Green flag!

FFS.

 

[GTFan24]

This is getting ****ing ridiculous

 

[Dylan]

So apparently, tickets for the Daytona 500 are sold out...

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

So this is supposed to be "better" than the old format.

I think its funny that one of the reasons NASCAR created the 5 min. pit road clock was to save the teams some money from making extensive repairs and just riding around in an effort of futility yet they are creating more carnage with this segment racing. I foresee this getting much worse at the short tracks. Sure, it makes for more excitement, but at the cost of the racing teams. I really think NASCAR created a real monster here....and I'm not talking about an energy drink.

 

[JohnBM01]

Two Big Ones today. I don't think these folks want this race to end cleanly. So much attrition in this one... and only "Stage 1" has been completed! Brutal...

 

[ukfan758]

This is a farce.

 

[Dylan]

Green flag for stage 2.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

This is a farce.

I couldn't agree more. NASCAR + Segment racing= Demo Derby...last car running, wins. Not only is this costing the teams money with all the torn up race cars, races are going to take a whole lot longer with all these cautions and red flags. I don't think NASCAR really thought this thing through.

 

[Dylan]

Caution is out. 44 with a shredded tire.

I said this exact same thing on Facebook after the truck race, yet I was still called an idiot.

Some people just don't have a clue.

 

[catamount39]

Wait the race hasn't finished yet?

They're in denial.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

Can't blame Nascar on this one. They could still go to the back and chill out until the end.
